Yes Belle, I started using a cane at 36, when going shopping, because I walked a little
like a drunk

. I also looked young for my age (still got asked for proof, when I order
-ed a drink). If peeps had the nerve to ask the matter, I just smiled and walked on.
At the DLBureau, I'd say that I had a little Arthritis in my left knee..hahaha.
One day, what made me feel ancient

, was, a little boy said to me, "my grandma
has a cane just like that one". I laughed and his mother was so embarrassed

.
